BRAKES OVERHEATING in red bold letters!

Hi There...

I've been taking my SL55 AMG to the Moroso race track in Florida, and by the end of the day, I got, in red bold letters, 'BRAKES OVERHEATING, Drive carefully" I did change the brake fluid to Motul 600 before the event.. do anybody have any suggestion? should I change the pads?

Well, the first thing I'd do is teach your car to spell! They're BRAKES!!!, not BREAKS!!!!!!!

Car is very heavy........4250 lbs.........Moroso is a fast track........brakes will suffer accordingly............

Pads will not do it............your braking technique may need work.........do not "slam" the pedal................"feel" it.........

Thank you for pointing out my mistake in bold letters .. sending a private message is what most people would do.
